Recently, the media has been gossiping about Trump's plans for Canada, Greenland or Panama, emphasizing President-elect's "obsession" and the intention to usage even military force. This sounds suggestive, sometimes shocking, as Trump is, however, the leader of the top democracy on the planet and its "obsessiveness" would present be a bad example for countries truly possessive like Russia and China, which, in the context of the war in Ukraine or in the face of the frequently announced aggression against Taiwan, do not make good associations.
But erstwhile we calmly remember certain events and facts, we begin to realize Trump's concerns, including his arguments. And historical sources give the revelations Dariusz Matuszak ( "Networks" No. 2, 7-12 January 2025, p.51-53) late collected. The issue of Canada, which is expected to become part of the United States, is the least of all, but this “anxiety” seems the most problematic due to the fact that Canada is part of the Commonwealth and depends on the British crown. Therefore, the support of 13% of Canadians for the task to join the US is of small importance here, since global rights and legal position of Canada are more important. The case of Panama, on the another hand, is an highly shocking issue in the historical sense and not only. However, it was the Americans who gave it to the planet in 1914, after 10 years of construction, shortening very much the shipping from the east coast of the United States to the west, up to 12,000 kilometres, connecting the Atlantic's waterways with the Pacific. And until 1977, the Panama Canal reconciled all nations by facilitating shipping to ships of all flags. Unfortunately, in 1977 president Jimmy Carter – in the approach of any madness – sold the Panama Canal to the Chinese for a symbolic dollar with a expiration date since 1999, why the Beijing rulers evidently applauded. Horrendal foolishness, and it was besides committed in Australia selling port Darwin in North territory on akin conditions. So China is standing 1 ft in Australia. And the Panama Canal has become "Chinese", now the Chinese hold their hand on the Americans' throat, and that they besides represent an undemocratic regime, so they dictate what they want. And in 2007, they forced the Panamanian government to break diplomatic relations with Taiwan, so Taiwanese ships no longer have access to the Panama Canal. U.S. ships inactive can, but most ports on the canal, bridges and routes around it are controlled by the Chinese. This is what president Carter, allegedly a patriot, but a mindless politician, possessed only by pacifism and very yielding to communist regimes, signing peace agreements even with Brezhnev, with whom he hugged and kissed. A weak man (called kindness!) and lacking strategical sense should not be the leader of the United States. present it is essential to correct his mistakes in the Panama Canal zone, otherwise all day there is simply a threat to the free world. The U.S. was not fortunate, and earlier, president Roosevelt, besides aberration of concessions against Stalin did not safe east Europe and Poland from the expansion of the USSR, gave Russia our land plundered by invasion on September 17, 1939, and thus created the foundation of the russian empire, which rapidly showed teeth to the free world. The Berlin crisis and the very cold war prompted Western countries to establish a NATO defence pact as early as 1949. And in 1950, a war broke out on the Korean peninsula, which was wasted by another amateur of pacifism, president Truman, although the American army was close to victory. As a result, present we have the peninsula torn apart, and the communists from the north proceed to endanger the democracies of the region and even America. Thanks to these 3 political dilemmas (Roosevelt, Truman and Carter) the US and the free planet are having increasing problems with the bloc of totalitarian states specified as Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela or Nicaragua, to which the BRICS states have late taken hold. Unfortunately, since the years of planet War II, the political folly of the Americans and the British has been suicidal due to the fact that it has advised the Chang-Kai-sheka government to communicate with ... communists! These recommendations kind of ignore the cognition that the planet already possessed about russian crimes from the period of Stalin's Revolution and dictatorship. It has not been completely understood that communist parties do not accept the rules of democracy, that they are destroying the regulation of law and are striving for a permanent dictatorship. So present we have a heap of problems, due to the fact that Marxian hatred of the classes has turned into hatred of nations practicing capitalism. And going back to Panama, let's say Carter sold the canal to China acted like a deranged man or as an undercover Beijing agent! How do I fix this mistake? So there are difficulties ahead of Trump, besides with respect to Greenland, which in 2013 was close to putting uranium deposits into service to the Chinese, without even asking Copenhagen for permission! Ultimately, this did not happen due to the fact that the US and the EU prevented it and the Greenland Parliament besides passed a ban on uranium mining. And yet Greenland continues to blackmail Copenhagen into selling to Beijing... So will long-distance Denmark be able to save Greenland and the planet from this prospect? Washington's intervention would be more important. We'll see how president Trump can handle it, but possibly he didn't request to talk about it before his swearing in. In the triangle between Canada, Panama and Greenland, he better not forget about his wonderful speech on 6 July 2017 in Warsaw and about the words he said there: “Poland is the heart and soul of Europe...“ Let's add a real Europe. And don't forget Poland, including Europe! And as he said at the time, “our fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield—it begins with our minds, our will, our souls.” And he reminded me: "You are the arrogant people of Copernicus, Chopin and St John Paul II. Poland is simply a country of heroes. You are a nation that truly knows what it is that defends.”
And today, almost at the bottom of the abyss, we must find the strength to regain the democracy and independency destroyed by Tusk. And as Karol Wojtyła wrote in 1974, “We cannot accept weakness” – likewise now – as well as those moving verses: “Can past flow against the current of consciences?” present Tusk and Bodnar are trying to put people of conscience in prison. The same happened in the years of Stalinism, we cannot accept the return of anti-Polish hatred and dictatorship. Yes, we cannot accept the weakness, nor the demolition of the 3rd Poland, which has been turned into a plague of lawlessness (it was besides pointed out by president Duda in the Sejm, 16.X.2024) and the demolition of Polish companies, well-proliferated in this III Poland, which disappears, leaving citizens defenseless against the tusk mob, deprived of rights and abruptly overwhelmed by inflation, and the sick with the rubble of decaying healing, i.e. in the claps of perfidiously assembled extermination, demolition on instalments! But in the country, the government of the Law and Justice Department took care of Poles and prices to stabilise the household budget! Yes, we can't accept the weakness, the specified quality and the looting in a country that turns into a desert that's been annexed by abroad companies!
